It was broken by a sudden thundering of the griffin's head against the great front door. The girls' hearts seemed to leap up in their throats. They had not heard that sound since the June day of Mrs. Gorham's visit. "Tom!" ejaculated Wilma, in a terrified whisper, looking wildly into Claribel's startled eyes. "Oh, we can't let him in!
He was experiencing a larger number of new sensations during his conference than he remembered ever having had aroused by any previous discussion. He was angry with himself for having permitted the interview, he was incensed by the proposition itself and the apparent unassailability of the Companies, he was annoyed by Gorham's good manners and his complete self-control.
"No, I didn't say all that," Brady protested; "I simply said that a big block of the stock was bought for you. It wasn't necessary to say why." "But you don't really believe that this stock was purchased for me, or with my knowledge, do you?" Few men could resist the frank appeal of Gorham's eyes when he chose to exert it, and Brady was not one of these.
And finally, it was claimed that the president had at least on one occasion taken advantage of his official position to make certain investments for his own personal advantage. A copy of this letter accidentally fell into Gorham's hands, and his indignation at its needlessly antagonistic wording was tempered by several elements of surprise.

"Well, I don't agree with you at all," said the host, emphatically. "Nor I," said Mr. Carter. "Nor I, Mr. Gorham," said Mrs.
Allen hesitated, carried off his feet by the intensity of the words and the rapt expression of her face. "Yes, I guess it is grand, though it never struck me just that way before. I say!
